- Ask an Expert -- Night at the Museum 2 the Real Stuff: The Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer
- Description
- Peter Jakab discusses the 1903 Wright Flyer in this informal gallery talk recorded on June 17, 2009 as part of the "Ask an Expert" lecture series. On December 17, 1903, The Wright brothers inaugurated the aerial age with the world's first successful flight of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This lecture was presented shortly after the release of "Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian," in which the 1903 Wright Flyer played a prominent role. Jakab, curator of the "Wright Brothers & The Invention of the Aerial Age" exhibition, presents the true story of the Wright brothers and their development of the first powered airplane. "Ask an Expert" lectures are presented weekly at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and biweekly at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.
